Originally posted by LEURThe main problem with rating restrictions in the Club format will be that you have a separate Club Rating which bears little resemblance to your RHP rating.
and to that I must add: two or three times we have had the player who was over the suggested maximum be the LAST person to enter the tournament forcing the tourney to START...then the club admin is compelled to ask the player to RESIGN his games...a royal pain for BOTH member and club leader...especially when the tourney is an 8 player round robin...
If you start a 1400-1600 rated tournament is that for people whose Club rating is within these parameters of for players whose main RHP rating is with these parameters.
I can imagine the hassle when you start a ratings restricted 1400-1600 tournament and players with a Club rating within these paramemers find themselves unable to enter and start sending PM's asking you why not.
You might also find that players with a Club rating of 1200 will not look at these tournaments as it is greater than their Club rating.
A quick look at In Vino Veritas club shows the highest rated players are
FabianFnas Club rating 1573 RHP rating 2248
Checkagain Club rating 1560 RHP rating 2018
Tukumnieks Club rating 1492 RHP rating 1737
kristjan Club rating 1460 RHP rating 1613
Their Club ratings are close but their RHP ratings are massively different.

Originally posted by LEURYou say that now but people cannot read simple instructions when it comes to joining "rate restricted" club tournaments as it is so what make you think that telling them this will make a difference?

P.S. I still think it's a good idea.

Ok guys, you have been heard, the rating issue may cause confusion, but I'll look at it.
no confusion over which rating is being used for club tournament entry without removing ranks within the club.
